Hetty, That is a gorgeous bloom on this one. Very nice colors.

Hetty, I think this Adenium "Dutch Lady" was seed grown of Kadie's and she named it in honor of you? Maybe I am missing something?
Might have to go to Guam.

Speaking of age..."Dutch Lady" improves in flower production at every flush. And her flushes come quite often and lasts quite awhile. She is only 20 months old. I kind of wish she would stop so that I could use her stems for grafting onto root stocks. I'm going to try hand-pollinating her flowers for now.
This 18-mo. seed grown tree has finally bloomed...a white!
A nice soft pink...enlarge photo to see her caudex.
Still hanging...this one was leaning over in her pot so I hung her up sideways to train the stems. I forget how long she has been hanging...2 to 3 months maybe...just wrote myself a note to take her down as I keep forgetting to re-plant her.
